SASH-FRANIE AND SASH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented oct.y 17, 1905.

Application lerl March 16, 1905. Serial No. 250,392.

T0 a/ZZ whom, if; may concern:

Be it known that I, JEssE G. RosEBooM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sash-Frames and Sashes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to sash-frames and sashes; and it has for one of its objects to provide a construction which is effectual in eX- cluding the wind and weather and yet is adapted to permit the sash to both slide and swing.

Another' object of the invention is the provision-ofl a sash embodying such a construction that a pane of glass may be expeditiously and securely fastened therein without resort to the use of putty or the like and in such manner that the pane of glass may be readily removed when broken and as readily replaced with a new pane.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be fully understood from the following description and claims, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation illustrating a sash-frame and sashes constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section taken in the plane indicated by the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the vertically-movable slide-bars comprised in my improvements. Fig. 4t is a similar view of one of the wind-guards used in connection with the slide-bars. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail horizontal section illustrating the relative arrangement of the pane of glass, the glass-holder, and the adjacent bar of the sash precedent to placing and securing the glass in the sash.

Similar letters -designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings, referring to which- A A are the side stiles of my novel sashframe. These Stiles are preferably, though not essentially, formed of sheet metal and respectively comprise parallel ways c and compartments b, arranged back of the ways o and separated therefrom by partition-walls c.

B B are vertically-movable slide-bars arranged in the ways c and against the wall c and having cams d on their outer faces.

O C are weights movable vertically in the compartments b of the stiles, and I) D are cables connecting the slide-bars B and the weights O and passed over sheaves e, mounted Awill at the upper ends of the partition-walls c, as best shown in Fig. 1. In virtue of this ponstruction it will be observed that the weights will be raised by the downward movements of the slide-bars B and will assist in the upward movements of the said slide-bars for a purpose presently set forth.

E E are wind-guards, of which there is one complementaryto each way c of the side stiles. The said wind-guards E are preferably of sheet metal and are provided with cams d', complement-ary to the cams CZ, and are also provided with finger-pieces f and vertical slots f. When the wind-guards E are moved through the medium of their lingerpieces f or other means in one direction, the cams d of said guards, moving against 'the cams Z of the slide-bars B, will permit the guards to move laterally toward the bars B, while when the guards are moved in the opposite direction the camsd, acting against the cams d, will move the guards laterally inward or away from the bars B.

Gr G are pins fixedly connected to the slidebars and extending through the slots f of the wind-guards E and laterally inward beyond the wind-guards, and H H are my improved sashes, the side bars of which are mounted on the pins Gr, whereby the sashes are adapted to swing. In their outer edges the side bars of the sashes (which side bars are lettered g) are provided with grooves /L to receive the outer portions of the windguards E after the manner shown in Fig. 2. From this it follows that when the windguards are in their normal positions they will prevent the passage of wind and weather between the side stiles of the frame and the adjacent bars of the sashes, It will also be observed that when the parts are in the relative positions shown in Fig. 2 and one of the sashes is raised -w the lower sash, for instancefthe said sash, its complementary windguards, and its complementary slide-bars will move upwardly together, and such movement be assisted by the counter-balanceweights, before. described, while when the sash is lowered against the action of the counterbalance-weights the wind-guards and the slide-bars will accompany it in such movement. When it is desired to swing the sash mentioned onthe pins Gr of its complementary slide-bars B, the wind-guards E of said sash are first raised through the medium of their finger-piecesf until they clear the outer edges of the side bars of the sash, when, as

- be understood as conlining myseltI tothe said y will be readily observed, the sash may be swung on the pins mentioned. When, however, the sash is returned to the position shown in Fig. 2 relative to the side. stiles: and the wind-guards E are lowered to their normal positions, the said wind-guards, in addition to excluding the weather, will serve to hold the sash against swing-ing.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that the upper sash is likethelower sash adapted to both slide and swing, the wind-guards appurtenant to the upper sash being raised by hand when the sash is lto be swung on itspins Gand lowered b v hand when the sash isto be secured against swinging movement. s

The sashes H H respectively comprise side bars g, which are provided inA theiry inner edges with vertical groovesm and are also provided withwalls n p at opposite sides ofV the said grooves, thewalls p being more shal-v low than the walls n' in about the proportions illustrated, upper end bars r-havingopenings s in alinement with the grooves m, a pane of, glass ,and glass-liold ers u and wedges/w for use of glass with a new pane, it is simply neces-.i`

sary to withdraw the wedges and `remove the holders, lwhen a new glass may be readily placed in theholders and as ,readily securedl in the sash.

Like the side stiles of the sash-frame the side bars of the sashes are preferably, though not essentially, formed of sheet metal. y

I have entered into a detailed description of the construction 'and relative arrangement of the parts comprised in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a definite understanding of the said embodiment. I do not desire, however, to

specific construction and relative arrangement of parts, as s uc'h changes or modifications may be made in practice asfairly fallwithin the scope of my invention as claimed.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a sash-frame having sidestiles provided with ways and coinpartments separated by partition-walls, a sash having grooves in the outer edges of its side bars, vertically and laterally movable windguards arranged between the side Stiles of the frame and 'the side bars of the sash and having cams, slide-bars connected and movable vertically with the sash and arranged in the ways of the stiles and provided with means for coacting with the cams ot` thewind-guaids and moving said guards laterally, and counterbalance-weights arranged in the compartments of the `side stiles and connected with said slide-bars.

2. rIhe combination of a sash-frame having side stiles provided with ways and compartments separated by partitionwalls, a sash `having grooves in the outer edges of its side bars, vertically and laterally movable windyguards arranged between the side stiles of the frame and the side bars of the sash and having cams, vertically-movable slide-bars arranged in the ways of the stiles and having cams complementary to those of the windguards, counterbalanee-weights arranged in the compartments of the side stiles and connected with the slide-bars, and a connection between the slide-bars and the sash whereby the sash is adapted to swing when the windguards are clear of the sash.

3. The combinationof a sash-frame, a sash, vertically and laterally movable wind-guards arranged rbetween the frame and the sash and having inclined cam s,verticallymovable slidebars movable inthe frame and having cams complementary to those of the wind-guards. means for assisting the upward movement of the slide-bars, and a connection between the slide-bars and the sash whereby the latter is adapted to swing when it is clear of the windguards.

4. In a sash, the combination of a frame IOO having grooves in the `inner sides of its side bars,fand also having openings in its upper .end Abar in communication with the said grooves, a pane of glass, glass-holders arranged in the grooves of the side bars and receiving opposite edges of the pane ot' glass, and wedges interposed between the said edges of the glass and the glass-holders.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
